Improting a Vespa from italy
Well my parents are off to Europe for 3 months and my dad, who was born in Italy, used to have a Vespa that he is sure is still at his house in
Sicily.
He is thinking of bringing it over here, what would the costs involved be?
I told him that it would be expensive as they'd need to convert it to right hand drive. He looked at me a bit like this .
I thought it was funny.
Anyway what's the process/ costs?
Anyone done this before?

Grazie!
I think this Vespa will need a good cleaning.
I think its from around the mid to late 60s

Dont forget to get an Vehicle Import Approval from the Dept of Transport and Regional Services! You'll need to get approval for a "motor vehicle
manufactured before 1989". Should allow up to two weeks. Here's the site link for more info. If you have any general questions, I used to work
there issuing the approvals so fire away!
http://www.dotars.gov.au/transreg/vsb/vsb_10.aspx
Also, be prepared to pay 10% GST which is calculated on the value of the scooter + shipping cost + insurance (I used to work at Customs too!).
You'll need to lodge an entry which you should be able to do through your local Customs shopfront, or even easier, get a Customs Broker to enter it
in for you - he/she will do all the paper work for you but will charge you for it.
